What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

Researchers are studying whether the shape of a spinal curve affects how teenagers with idiopathic scoliosis distribute weight through their feet. The study includes 48 adolescents aged 10 to 17 who have Lenke Type I or Type V scoliosis curves. Participants receive standard spinal X-rays and stand and walk on a pressure platform that records foot pressure patterns. The goal is to understand how the body adapts to scoliosis and whether this knowledge can improve exercise and rehabilitation programs.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If researchers find a link between spinal curve shape and foot pressure, it could help physiotherapists design exercise and rehabilitation programs that target balance and walking problems in teenagers with scoliosis.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study of 48 teenagers, so it can only show associations, not cause and effect. Any link found may not apply to other scoliosis types or to younger children.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Those with a Cobb angle greater than 10 degrees on radiological evaluation * Those with scoliosis orthoradiographs taken within the last 3 months * Those aged 10 ≤ age ≤ 17 who have been diagnosed with AIS by a specialist physiatrist * Those belonging to Lenke classification Type I and V subgroups * Individuals below the obesity threshold for their age group * Individuals who can stand and walk independently * Individuals who voluntarily participate in the study and have parental consent will be included.
